 Thanks Rob! These look really great. I'll give them a try :)

Take a look at AnimStack http://registry.gimp.org/node/26501which 
provides a whole batch of features for creating animations.


And to revert a diff animation layer stack, try the unoptimoze filter

   Ok... just to clarify. It seems there are no ideas so I actually do
have to develop it myself... :)

[Gimp-user] edit text content and properties

Another day another challenge, In case you have not already figured it out.

1. Gimp does not have a neutral tool as such, just select any other tool to 
exit the text tool.

2. They should stick, do you mean that while using the text tool if you click 
on the canvas to start new text the text properties revert back to those in the 
text options dialog. That is normal.
